> I will just remind you that there is a thing called a carbon cycle. Carbon is absorbed from the atmosphere. Carbon is not a poison, but is instead, a fundamental component of all life on earth. It does not accumulate forever, but instead, is reabsorbed back out of the atmosphere at some often debated rate. Climate scientists know this, but people who drop the "horrific" bomb, generally do not.

That's not only patronising, it's completely irrelevant when we are currently producing more carbon dioxide than can be absorbed by all of the world's carbon sinks, and so additional carbon dioxide being produced means more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

You need to provide a source for that. You will not be able to. The CO2 level was MUCH MUCH higher in the past. As long as plants exist, CO2 will be absorbed, and it's absorbed at a higher rate as it goes up, thus stabilizing the system. Think partial pressures.
